Five Songs to Play At My Funereal (stolen from Morgaine)

[f4f3]

I only had one in mind:

Take It With Me When I Go, by Tom Waits,

but,

Knocking on Heaven's Door, the Warren Zevon cover from his final album, when he was dying and he knew it,

Peace At Last, by The Blue Nile,

The Wild Moutain Thyme, by the Silencers

and

Sally Maclennane by The Pogues.

My epitaph, of course, will be: "Jesus, is that the time?"

I caved in and friended you....us dog lovers must stick together! :)

"Jesus, is that the time?" I like. Would work for me too!

DOA by the Foo Fighters!

Jim said his epitaph is going to be "It didn't do that last time." I rather like "I'm behind you!"

I am not going to have an epitaph.

I have actually stated in my will (though it won't be a funeral as such...)

Goodbye Pork Pie Hat (Charlie Mingus)
Prayer (Oh Doctor Jesus) (Mile Davis & Gil Evans)
In A Sentimental Mood (Duke Ellington)

Maybe I should add in Gloria by Patti Smith and Waterfront (12" version, natch) by Simple Minds just to wake people up!

I wrote a will many years ago when I was flying a lot for work, and every time the plane would take off I'd think, oh my god, I don't have a will...
